Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Chapter 264: Gold on top, cold iron on the bottom

"Okay," Intelligence Officer Lansono finally nodded, "Since you said so, we tentatively think that Ian is credible. Then when he escaped from Pentos with Daenerys, they Why don’t you come to us immediately in the disputed area?”

"Unfortunately," Jon shook his head, "Illyrio only told Ian about me and little Aegon, and did not tell him that the Golden Company had joined our plan. However, Illyrio praised him. That's right, isn't it? Even without us, he still found an army."

"A slave army of eunuchs."

"The Unsullied have a great reputation. They defeated Khal Morte in Qohor," Jon tried to argue.

"Of course we know what the Unsullied are," an old sergeant who remained silent laughed. "After Qohor broke the contract and refused to pay the Golden Company's commission, it took the Golden Company less than a week to capture that palace. The city guarded by the Unsullied is vulnerable to the Golden Company!"

"Hahaha!" The whole audience laughed.

That was the battle that made the Golden Company famous.

After the failure of the first Blackfire Rebellion jointly launched by Daemon Blackfyre and Aegor Rivers, the two illegitimate sons of King Aegon IV, a large number of Westeros knights and knights who sided with the black dragon. The lord fled to Essos with Aegor Rivers of 'Bitter Iron'.

With these nobles, Aegor River founded the Golden Company and put forward the slogan "Gold on top, cold iron on the bottom", but at that time, the Free Trade Cities did not take these lost dogs seriously.

After Qohor hired the Golden Group once, he even broke the contract and refused to pay the Golden Group.

The Golden Company then taught a lesson to the arrogant city that had defeated the Centaur army, and they quickly captured Qohor and sacked it. The record of beating the Unsullied, the strongest infantry in Essos, also made the Golden Company famous throughout the Eastern Continent.

"Now we are not discussing whether we can defeat the Unsullied, but whether we can turn these ten thousand spears into our allies." Jon knew that the Golden Company was also proud of its capital, so he could only remind them like this.

"For us, adding ten thousand spears is still not enough." Finance Officer Gaulis Aidoin thought for a while and said.

"But we can marry Daenerys to Quentin Martell so we can get Dorne." Tristan Rivers immediately suggested.

"Damn it Dorne! What will happen to Prince Aegon if Daenerys marries a Dornish man? Now Daenerys has claimed the throne! The only way we can ally with her is if she marries Prince Aegon. , they are similar in age, and if the Usurper War had not broken out, they would have gotten married." Jon immediately rejected Tristan's proposal.

"So should we go to Slaver's Bay to join them now?" Tristan Rivers did not dare to get angry in front of Jon Clinton. He could only accept the other party's decision in a sullen voice.

"How could they stay in Slaver's Bay?" Intelligence officer Lansono immediately refuted it. "Once Khal Drogo gets the news that they are in Slaver's Bay, he will definitely respond non-stop to the humiliation he suffered in Pentos. If I were Forget it Daenerys, she is a little girl who doesn’t understand this.

If I were Lord Darry, since Governor Illyrio thinks highly of this man, I would assume that he is as smart as me. After I bought the Unsullied, I would definitely borrow a ship and take people to Volantis as soon as possible.

The centaurs dare not enter the lower reaches of the Rhoyne River at will. Volantis has an extremely large number of tiger-robed cavalry. Even a strong man like Khal Drogo is provoking the Queen of the Rhoyne River (the title of Volantis). You also need to think twice before. "

"Then what? What can you get in Volantis? The Second Sons? The Windblown Legion? It is impossible for these mercenaries to join a war that seems to have no chance of winning. There is no point in staying in Volantis." The sergeant pointed out.

"This" Intelligence Officer Lansono was stuck, "I will rest in Volantis for a while, and then" Lansono blinked, "You are right, I will not get support in Volantis. , and ten thousand Unsullied cannot conquer Westeros. No matter where I land in Westeros, it will only be a matter of time before I am annihilated." As he spoke, Lansono suddenly looked at Tristan Rivers .

"Except for Dorne!" Ransonor suddenly thought, "No northern monarch has ever conquered the desert of Dorne by force. As long as they get the support of Prince Doran, they can log in to Sunspear and erect tanks. Li An’s royal flag, and then began to lobby the princes of the mainland. To achieve this, Earl Darry’s only choice is to marry the queen to Prince Doran’s eldest son, Quentin Martell!”

"We can't sit back and let this happen."

"We have to stop him!"

"We must find them before Daenerys goes to Dorne and convince her to agree to ally with us." The senior sergeants expressed their opinions one after another.

Lansono's analysis is correct. If Ian Darry only has a mere 10,000 troops, then marrying the queen to the Dornish people will be his only choice.

But this decision was unacceptable to the Golden Company. Prince Rhaegar did not claim the title of king. As the grandson of Mad King Aerys II, Prince Aegon's inheritance rights were lower than Daenerys.

Although according to the tradition of the Dragon family, when the king has no son to succeed to the throne, the throne would rather be passed to the king's grandson than to his daughter, but Daenerys is going to Dorne. The Dornish people do not accept this method. According to Dorne According to the law, women have the same inheritance rights as male heirs in the order of eldest and youngest.

Once the marriage between Daenerys and Dorne is achieved, little Aegon will either give up his claim to the throne, or he will have no choice but to become his aunt's enemy.

Now the matter is no longer a question of what they can gain by forming an alliance with Daenerys, but that if they do not form an alliance with Daenerys before Dorne, young Aegon's claim will be threatened.

"Send an envoy to Volantis immediately and propose our alliance to Queen Daenerys and Earl Darry as quickly as possible!" Jon Clinton immediately ordered after seeing the attitude of the sergeants.

"Forget it," Jon immediately took off his gloves and slapped them on the table. "Letting you go may make things unclear. I'll go there myself."

"Where is Prince Aegon? Will he go with you?" Harry Strickland asked quickly. He was very timid. He didn't want such a hot potato to be placed in his hands. He wouldn't be able to pay if something happened. Take this responsibility.

"Of course little Aegon will stay," Jon said, slowing down.

What he originally thought was of course to keep Prince Aegon in the Golden Company, otherwise he would take Aegon with him to find his cheap aunt. If the marriage was not agreed upon and the other party had some evil intentions, they would just go together. Is it folded there?

But Jon then thought about it, if he fell in love with Daenerys, with the character of the mercenaries in the Golden Company, would they really still side with little Aegon?

The Golden Company have been away from home for too long, and they are too eager to return to their hometown and take back the castle of their ancestors.

After fleeing to Essos, they still launched many Blackfyre rebellions. They never gave up until the last descendant of Blackfyre, the ferocious Maris Blackfyre, was killed by the fearless Barristan. The effort to get home.

But now, the descendants of Blackfire are extinct, and the Targaryen dynasty has also been destroyed.

As the remnants of the black dragon, the Golden Company no longer cares about relying on a red dragon to lead them home. Will they still care whether the red dragon is called Aegon or Daenerys?

No, the only reason the Golden Company supports Aegon is themselves. If they are no longer here, they will send little Aegon to Daenerys without stopping as their vote of trust.

"Yes, Prince Aegon will accompany me." Jon made his decision.

Compared to these mercenaries of the Golden Company, Jon Connington was more willing to believe in the loyalty of the young earl whom Illyrio had praised highly.
